You guessed it. Its a Generac 15kW unit and it will be a perminant
addition to the house and won't move.

I thought about a wood solution but I don't like the idea of hot generator
on wood. Wood rot and termites are also issues to deal with.


What about motor mounts or similar things? I'm thinking rubber mounts or
polyurethane mounts - last for decades even under harsh conditions - like
the kind in your engine compartment.

Say split the difference, 4" concrete slab with diesel engine mounts -
should put it well over 10" total height.

Tell me about building a block foundation?
